: There are eight major variations of this passage plus several minor ones. The four best supported by evidence are given above. The two major differences are between "who" and "that which" (only one letter difference in Greek) and between "he is greater" and "it is greater" (the difference is only one of a long 'o' or a short 'o'). The latter difference is probably due to mistakes of the ear, where a copyist misunderstands the word or misspells it. Although it is possible that the neuter reading ("that which") arose when a copyist changed "who" to "that which" to agree with "it is greater," this would not explain the nonsense reading found in manuscripts S, D, L, W, and Psi. It is difficult to believe that copyists would change "who" to "which"; it is more likely that they would change "which" to "who." The reading found in manuscript B* and most latin manuscripts (although difficult to understand) seems to be the reading most likely to have given rise to the others.
